Centro de Documentacion de Fundación MAPFRE - Met or unmet need for long-term care : Formal and informal care in southern Europe

Notas: Sumario: Southern European countries share many common traits but there are differences among them that can justify different levels of need and of unmet need for social long-term care (LTC). In our study, we quantify met and unmet need for LTC for older people, in the four southern European countries Portugal, Spain, Italy, and Greece and we analyse their determinants, using multinomial logits and data from the sixth wave of the Survey of Health, Ageing and Retirement in Europe (SHARE). We analyse the association between several demographic and socio-economic factors and the chances of having needs, and of receiving or not different types of care. Although most of the effects of the explanatory variables are valid in all the countries, some factors are more important in some countries than in others.
